A study of $D^+pi^-$, $D^0 pi^+$ and $D^{*+}pi^-$ final states is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 $fb^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. The $D_1(2420)^0$ resonance is observed in the $D^{*+}pi^-$ final state and the $D^*_2(2460)$ resonance is observed in the $D^+pi^-$, $D^0 pi^+$ and $D^{*+}pi^-$ final states. For both resonances, their properties and spin-parity assignments are obtained. In addition, two natural parity and two unnatural parity resonances are observed in the mass region between 2500 and 2800 MeV. Further structures in the region around 3000 MeV are observed in all the $D^{*+}pi^-$, $D^+pi^-$ and $D^0 pi^+$ final states.

Using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^{-1}, the ratio of branching fractions of the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ decay relative to the B0 -> D*- pi+ decay is measured to be B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+) = 2.64 pm 0.04 (stat.) pm 0.13 (syst.). The Cabibbo-suppressed decay B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+ is observed for the first time and the measured ratio of branching fractions is B(B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (6.47 pm 0.37 (stat.) pm 0.35 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}. A search for orbital excitations of charm mesons contributing to the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ final state is also performed, and the first observation of the B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi+ pi- decay is reported with the ratio of branching fractions B(B0 -> (Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+) pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (2.04 pm 0.42 (stat.) pm 0.22 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}, where the numerator represents a product of the branching fractions B(B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi- pi+) and B(Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+).
The first observation of the $D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-$ decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8$,$TeV, and corresponding to 2$,$fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay $D^0 to K^- pi^+[mu^+mu^-]_{rho^0/omega}$, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a $rho^0$ or $omega$ meson. The results are $mathcal{B}(D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-)=(9.64pm0.48pm0.51pm0.97)times10^{-7}$ and $mathcal{B}(D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-)=( 1.54pm0.27pm0.09pm0.16)times10^{-7}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated.
Using a data sample corresponding to 13.7 fb^-1 collected with the CLEO II and II.V detectors, we report new branching fraction measurements for two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes of the D^+ meson: Br(D^+ to pi^+ pi^0) = (1.3 +/- 0.2) x 10^-3 and Br(D^+ to bar{K}^0 K^+) = (5.2 +/- 0.6) x 10^-3 which are significant improvements over past measurements. The errors include statistical and systematical uncertainties as well as the uncertainty in the absolute D^+ branching fraction scale. We also set the first 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode Br(D^+ to K^+ pi^0) < 4.2 x 10^-4.
The decays $Dto K^-pi^+pi^+pi^-$ and $D to K^-pi^+pi^0$ are studied in a sample of quantum-correlated $Dbar{D}$ pairs produced through the process $e^+e^- to psi(3770) to Dbar{D}$, exploiting a data set collected by the BESIII experiment that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$. Here $D$ indicates a quantum superposition of a $D^0$ and a $bar{D}^0$ meson. By reconstructing one neutral charm meson in a signal decay, and the other in the same or a different final state, observables are measured that contain information on the coherence factors and average strong-phase differences of each of the signal modes. These parameters are critical inputs in the measurement of the angle $gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle in $B^- to DK^-$ decays at the LHCb and Belle II experiments. The coherence factors are determined to be $R_{K3pi}=0.52^{+0.12}_{-0.10}$ and $R_{Kpipi^0}=0.78 pm 0.04$, with values for the average strong-phase differences that are $delta_D^{K3pi}=left(167^{+31}_{-19}right)^circ$ and $delta_D^{Kpipi^0}=left(196^{+14}_{-15}right)^circ$, where the uncertainties include both statistical and systematic contributions. The analysis is re-performed in four bins of the phase-space of the $D to K^-pi^+pi^+pi^-$ to yield results that will allow for a more sensitive measurement of $gamma$ with this mode, to which the BESIII inputs will contribute an uncertainty of around 6$^circ$.
Quantum-correlated $psi(3770) to Dbar{D}$ decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment are used to perform a first measurement of $F_+^{4pi}$, the fractional $CP$-even content of the self-conjugate decay $D to pi^+pi^-pi^+pi^-$, obtaining a value of $0.737 pm 0.028$. An important input to the measurement comes from the use of $D to K^0_{rm S}pi^+pi^-$ and $D to K^0_{rm L}pi^+pi^-$ decays to tag the signal mode. This same technique is applied to the channels $D topi^+pi^-pi^0$ and $D to K^+K^-pi^0$, yielding $F_+^{pipipi^0} = 1.014 pm 0.045 pm 0.022$ and $F_+^{KKpi^0} = 0.734 pm 0.106 pm 0.054$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These measurements are consistent with those of an earlier analysis, based on $CP$-eigenstate tags, and can be combined to give values of $F_+^{pipipi^0} = 0.973 pm 0.017$ and $F_+^{KKpi^0} = 0.732 pm 0.055$. The results will enable the three modes to be included in a model-independent manner in measurements of the unitarity triangle angle $gamma$ using $B^mp to DK^mp$ decays, and in time-dependent studies of $CP$ violation and mixing in the $Dbar{D}$ system.
